"I'm going to make sure that again our voice is heard and exposed to the forefront...there are no questions about that," Mr Sopoaga said.

Mr Sopoaga and his supporters successfully passed a no confidence motion against former PM Willy Telavi.

Mr Sopoaga's success ends months of political infighting, constitutional crisis and High Court action triggered by the death of Tuvalu's Finance Minister last December.

During that period, former PM Telavi first refused to allow a by-election, and then refused to call parliament, when it became clear he did not have the support of majority of MPs in the 15 seat house.

The recent sitting of parliament only happened after the Governor General used his reserve powers to order it, and also ordering the suspension of Mr Telavi from office until the no confidence motion was debated.

In retaliation, Mr Telavi immediately announced the Governor General had been fired.
